No cache in the "Badger, Badger, Mushroom, Snake" series would be complete without a Flash-animated song to go with it. Note: This is a condensed version of the complete song. Google for the complete song by Raffi if you think it will help. One more note: There are no hints in the description here or at the top of the page. The puzzle is the song, not something else hidden in the information on this page.

Thanks to the guidance from some former finders, I was able to go for a short jog after work to sign this one. I had a standoff with a raccoon about 100' from GZ, but he eventually stopped hissing and wandered away. The replacement left nearly 2 years ago is well-protected and in pristine condition. Thank you for placing this geocache!

After our recent DNF, we contacted the CO offering to replace the missing container. Today we placed a replacement container about 30' south of the puzzle coordinates to prevent future muggling. Thanks for the fun puzzle.

A message to a previous cacher helped us get all of our information "in line" and we realized this mystery cache was in our neighborhood. We chose a very quiet time of day to go for the find, expecting the container to either be destroyed again or missing. That seems to be the case. Since the area is not visitor friendly, we will "hang up" on this one for good.

After picking my son up from day camp at the YMCA we came up here to see how this cache had fared. Since there was no note from the co I assumed the log stayed out in the elements all winter. I brought a container along just in case. I found the items just as RPieperco left them. Just very badly weather beaten. Not much left of the log book anymore. I put some papers in a baggie for a log. Then, with the items left from last year, I put it all in a container and left it near gz. Since the nearby business seems to come back here and weed whack a bit I don't know how long this will last, but hopefully the co can tend to it soon. Sl, thanks!

TFTPC!! I've looked at this puzzle many times. This weekend I threw in the towel and sought help from CrumbCrunchers and THeSKuLL. They help me out and I had the final coords in hand. Today with the great weather I decided to make the walk to the cache. It was a little rough but not bad. I found the cache pretty easy, but it was not what I expected. I found the log book out in the open just lying on the ground along with what was probably the contents of a container. The book was dry enough to sign and stamp. I searched all around for something to place the contents into but couldn't see anything. This cache will need a new container before the rain or snow sets in next. Thanks for the fun puzzle even though I wasn't able to solve it and a nice hiding spot.

While out on an early morning caching run on my new scooter, I decided to have another look for this one. Bit of a mission to get to GZ that's for sure. If you go the long way that is. Once there I find that GZ is fairly bare, as it seems the area has been cleaned up and branches trimmed etc. Although I searched thoroughly all over the joint, there was no cache to be found in the spot where I had been told by a previous finder where it was. You might want to check on this one Larry and replace it as I'm sure it's missing. I couldn't be stuffed running the gauntlet back the way I came, so I just jumped over the fence. When I landed I see a sign that says 'Private Property' and 'keep off the grass'. Great. Evil

Found a way in but was not easy to maneuver to where the cache was. The cache is in great shape. It's been almost two years since the last log. Tftc!!!

I went out on a late afternoon bike ride and found a few caches, but DNF'd a few as well, such as this one. BlackEye I got some help from a friend to help me solve this one a few months ago, and today I hoped to find it. This was the last one for the day and it was fairly dark by the time I got here while heading home, so I walked around searching, but it's private property beyond the fence, so I gave up in the end and rode off. I'll have to try this one again another day.

Finally made some headway on this puzzle, though I admit I had some help along the way. Made the trek today to sign the log, and it was more of a trek than I expected. Not quite sure what to say about the location except it has me bewildered. There's an easy way that's clearly marked as no trespassing and a hard way that's not. Does claiming ignorance by taking the hard way negate the no trespassing? Question for the judge I suppose, though I was in and out with no issues. Terrain rating certainly earned going the hard way. Thanks for the puzzle, I appreciate it! SL - Zulu

Thought I might not be able to find the cache with snow covering the ground back there. But with your good coords (which I had help with) I was able to come up with it. Thanks SL
